Although Cape Neddick is its official name, Nubble Lighthouse came to be in 1879 after President Rutherford B. Hayes appropriated money to build a lighthouse on a “nub” of land for safe transport of commerce by sea.

Built in 1790, Happisburgh is the oldest working light in East Anglia, and the only independently run lighthouse in Great Britain. The tower stands at 85 feet and the lantern is 134 feet above sea level.

Peggy’s Cove, also known as Peggy’s Point, is a classic red-and-white lighthouse still operated by the Canadian Coast Guard and remains an iconic image of Nova Scotia. Fishing communities comprise this rural community on the shore of St. Margaret’s Bay.

This historic lighthouse has a rich history dating back to the late 1700s when the new town of Cape Elizabeth posted guard at Portland Head to warn citizens of British attacks. The tower was first lit in 1791 with 16 whale oil lamps.
